The aim of this study is to present short-axis radial and circumferential strain rate measurements by speckle tracking echocardiography technique in healthy cats dogs. was performed at Small Animal Training Research Hospital, Ankara University. Retrospective data from (n=5) dogs (n=5), which are applied the animal hospital for cardiological examination, were analyzed. Two-dimensional without se...

conclusions echocardiography and 2d speckle tracking strain imaging shows improvements in left ventricular deformation indices in atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (avrt) and atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (avnrt) patients for the mean systolic strain and strain rate at 24 hours and the three-month follow-up. in spite of the normal lvef, even during sinus rhythm, deformation ...

Cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) can profoundly improve outcome in selected patients with heart failure; however, response is difficult to predict and can be absent in up to one in three patients. There has been a substantial amount of interest in the echocardiographic assessment of left ventricular dyssynchrony, with the ultimate aim of reliably identifying patients who will respond to ...
